What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Chineham has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Chineham
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church Chineham?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Chineham?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 2.2 miles south-west of Chineham.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Will someone run the bar?
Bar staff are part of the service.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
